CERI Commodity Report — Crude Oil
Relevant • Independent • Objective
CERI Commodity Report – Crude Oil Editor-in-Chief: Dinara Millington ([email protected]) About CERI The Canadian Energy Research Institute is an independent, not-for-profit research establishment created through a partnership of industry, academia, and government in 1975. Our mission is to provide relevant, independent, objective economic research in energy and related environmental issues. We strive to build bridges between scholarship and policy, combining the insights of scientific research, economic analysis, and practical experience. In doing so, we broaden the knowledge of young researchers in areas related to energy, the economy, and the environment while honing their expertise in a range of analytical techniques. For more information about CERI, please visit our website at www.ceri.ca.
The most obvious reason is that the market had anticipated the loss of Iranian production, and hence had already priced in some of that loss. In December of last year the Israeli government convinced the EU that it had to impose hard sanctions in light of alternative, which had the Israeli Defense Forces launch an attack to stop Iran's alleged nuclear programme. The six-month lead-in time for the EU embargo also gave buyers of Iranian oil half a year to find alternative suppliers. The second reason is that no one knows, yet, how much Iranian oil is reaching the market. In June, Iran told OPEC that its production in May had risen to 3.7 MMbpd. A secondary source, such as the International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that the figure was closer to 3.3 MMbpd (see Figure 1). In July, the IEA calculated that production had fallen again to 2.9 MMbpd. Iranian officials did not report their production levels. As well, tracking Iranian tankers, which would give a better picture, is now difficult. Their transponders have been shut off. Figure 1: Iranian Production (MMbpd)
Source: IEA, Oil Market Report Another reason has to do with new supplies of oil coming on-stream and replacing lost Iranian production. Non-OPEC supply is forecast to increase by 0.6 MMbpd (to 53.6 MMbpd) in 4Q12, from maintenance and hurricane disruptions in 3Q12, which will be 0.9 MMbpd higher than it averaged in 2011. On an annual basis, the IEA expects non-OPEC production to increase by 0.4 MMbpd
Why Haven’t Sanctions Against Iran Affected Oil Prices? When Libya's civil unrest shut in the country's oil production last year, Brent crude prices rose about 25 percent from the start of the revolution in February to highs above US$125 a barrel in May 2011. The reason for the price surge was obvious. Fighting had knocked out 1.4 million barrels a day (MMbpd) of Libyan oil almost immediately. The quality end of the crude complex, particularly relevant for Europe's high-spec refineries, was caught short. Libya's light, sweet, paraffin-rich oil was hard to replace. The strict European Union (EU) embargo and another round of sanctions imposed by the US Congress have restricted Iran's oil trade, even though global demand for crude is higher this year than when Libya's output was shut in. Similar volume that was lost last year from Libya could be removed from the market. Far greater volumes would be lost, too, if Iran did what some of its politicians say it will, and shut down the Strait of Hormuz, through which about a fifth of the world's oil passes. However, oil prices have fallen from a peak of US$125/bbl in April to around US$100/bbl in mid-July 2012. Even a late summer increase in the price, which has seen Brent gain more than US$10/bbl, was largely due to macroeconomic reasons: a Eurozone deal in June and expectations for more stimulus cash in the US. In short, the Iran factor has barely moved the price, let alone spiked it. Why? This article will attempt to shed some light.

by the end of 2012 and 0.7 MMbpd in 2013. The new sources of oil are expected from various regions, such as the US Bakken, Kashagan in Kazakhstan, Alberta’s oil sands and the pre-salt basins of Brazil. The future expectations of increased oil supply from non-OPEC regions give the global oil market some comfort. But, the main reason for the lack of increase in oil price is explained by loosening supplies within OPEC. The 30 MMbpd production ceiling the group set last year has become immaterial. The latest statistics indicate that OPEC’s output is around 31.2 MMbpd. Libyan production has reached pre-war levels and Iraq has overtaken Iran as OPEC's second-largest producer. Iraq has added 0.4 MMbpd to supply since September of last year, totaling its output to just over 3.0 MMbpd. Those additions, though significant, pale in comparison to the efforts of Saudi Arabia, which focused on replenishing and building global inventories thus preventing any price rises beyond a rough band of a few dollars either side of US$100/bbl (i.e., Brent price equivalent). Production has been steady, around 9.5-9.7 MMbpd for most of this year. This is not really an effort to capitalize on Iran's misfortunes, say Saudi sources. It comes from King Abdullah's wish to see the market balanced, and prices within a range that will not deteriorate global oil demand and keep the Kingdom's customer base. Nevertheless, the impact is the same. Saudi increased production raises global inventories, which in turn means that the world can cope with the loss of Iranian oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) reports that crude stocks rose by 1 MMbpd in May and June. That compares with a 1.2 MMbpd draw on stocks in the same period last year, during Libya's war. This situation leaves Iran isolated. Reduced oil exports will drain the Iranian economy, which heavily depends on petro-dollars, and at the same time it seems that there is no lasting damage on the economies of import-dependent countries that are imposing the sanctions. How will Iran respond? One of the options that Iran had mentioned was to shut down the Strait of Hormuz, a
threat that is usually guaranteed a jump in oil prices, but has had a muted impact this year. The UAE and Saudi Arabia have already opened new oil export pipelines, totalling 6.5 MMbpd of capacity, or about 40 percent of the volume that sails through the Strait. That weakens the Hormuz threat. In any event, shutting down the Strait under the watchful gaze of the US military would take some effort and most likely be short-lived. Another response may include proxy retaliation elsewhere in the Middle East. Iran's influence in Iraq, say some analysts, could be used to destabilize its fragile politics and slow its oil-production growth. Saudi Arabia's strategy to keep the market balanced, though, is not about to change. As sanctions continue, it is inevitable Iran's oil output will fall steeply. Country officials have already confirmed that sanctions have forced the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) to shut-in production, with estimates ranging from 0.2 MMbpd to as much as 0.5MMbpd in September 2012. However, other group members will pick up Iran’s market share and new production outside the group may loosen supplies even further. In short, Iran's options are shrinking along with its economy. If the situation persists where sanctions against Iran are not lifted, the IEA’s forecast is predicting a 1.2 MMbpd shortfall in Iranian production to 2.5 MMbpd by 2017. Crude oil exports are expected to hover in a narrow range around 1 MMbpd in 4Q12 compared with around 2.5 MMbpd over the same period a year ago. One thing for sure, prolonged sanctions will be the new norm in the country. And a weakened Iran may be dangerous. But a negotiated settlement to the nuclear issue looks increasingly attractive.

B1: World Petroleum Supply and Demand Balance (million barrels per day)
Notes: 1. Totals for OECD and non-OECD supply include net refining gains; specific regions/groupings within each do not. 2. OPEC demand is an estimate based on
historical annual data. 3. Balance for World equals global stockbuilds (+) and stockdraws (-) for crude oil and petroleum products and miscellaneous gains and loss-
es. Regional surpluses (+) and deficits (-) are balanced through net-imports and stock changes in the short-term, and net-imports in the longer term. Supply includes
crude oil, condensates, NGLs, oil from non-conventional sources and processing gains. Demand is for petroleum products.

C1: US Petroleum Supply and Demand Balance (million barrels per day)
Notes: 1. Does not balance because of unaccounted for crude oil. Regional surpluses (+) and deficits (-) are balanced through net-imports/transfers and stock chang-
es in the short-term, and net-imports/transfers in the longer term. 2. As of most recent month. Supply includes crude oil, condensates, NGLs, oil from non-
conventional sources and processing gains. Demand is for petroleum products. Source: EIA Petroleum Supply Monthly.

Additional Notes
1. Petroleum and oil refer to crude oil and natural gas liquids (NGLs),
whereas crude oil refers to its namesake and field condensates.
Condensates derived from natural gas processing plants are classified as
NGLs. 2. The spot price is for immediate delivery of crude oil or refined
products at a specific location. Spot transactions are generally on a cargo
by cargo basis. In contrast, a futures price is for delivery of a specified
quantity of a commodity at a specified time and place in the future. 3.
Crude oil sold Free-On-Board (FOB) is made available to the buyer at the
loading port at a particular time, with transportation and insurance the
responsibility of the buyer. Crude oil sold Cost-Insurance-Freight (CIF) is
priced at a major destination point, with the seller responsible for the
transportation and insurance to that point. A “Delivered” transaction is
similar to a CIF transaction, except the buyer in the former pays based on the quantity and quality ascertained at the unloading port, whereas in a CIF
transaction, the buyer accepts the quantity and quality as determined at the loading port. 4. Processing gain is the volume of which refinery output is
greater than crude oil inputs. The difference is due to the processing of crude oil products, which in total have a lower specific gravity than crude oil. 5.
Unaccounted for crude oil reconciles the difference between crude input to refineries and the sum of domestic production, net imports/exports, stock
changes and documented losses (in the U.S.). 6. Totals may not equal the sum of their parts in the statistical tables due to rounding.
